Roots & Fruits /Leeds

Roots and Fruits has been a vegetarian café in Leeds for over 20 years. They’ve recently updated the menu to be predominantly plant based, working with the wonderful Laura Thomas (PhD) to make sure that the food they serve is keeping up with what vegetarians and vegans want. “Less cheese, fried food and more vegan meals”. The menu changes seasonally to ensure they always have fresh, locally sourced ingredients. Customers favourites from menu are ‘The Whole Bowl’ (chipotle black beans, brown rice, mango salsa, guacamole and vegan ‘cheesy’ sauce) or ‘Jerk jackfruit’ (Caribbean sweet and spicy jerked jackfruit served with wraps and coconut sour cream). Both are vegan and gluten free. There’s also a tasty selection of vegan sweet treats, marshmallows, pumpkin seed butter, locally made chocolate and cakes, you can take home and save for later!
